Right valves versus left valves seems to have a lot of divers confused.
Training agencies coined the term right "hand" valve, which was meant
to imply a valve that can be reached with the right hand when a diver
reaches behind their head with the tank on the back. A "left hand"
valve was deemed the opposite. Because all Dive Rite valves are
modular, we call all valves with a reverse thread on the crossbar plug
a "left valve." This is easily identifiable by a notch on the plug.
The
valves with plugs that are not-notched are "right valves." Most people
find it easier just to remember that when facing a Dive Rite valve, if
the hand wheel is on the left it is a left valve and if the hand wheel
is on the right it is a right valve. Our Right Valves are available in
either 200 bar or 300 bar with shock absorbing ribbed rubber knobs that
are rugged, yet easy to manipulate. The right valve paired with the
left can be used for independent doubles, a doubles manifold,
sidemount, and rebreather cylinders. All Dive Rite valves come standard
with 3500 psi working pressure relief disks. Our valves are modular so divers can
use them independently on single tanks, put them together to form an
H-valve or use an isolation bar to build a manifold for double tanks.
All Dive Rite valves come with Viton o-rings and oxygen compatible
lubricants and are Nitrox ready up to 40-percent.
